My wife and I spent a day there a month ago; even so the temp was in the 90s. We observed thousands of dead tilapia along the shoreline, a sad consequence of the increasing salinity and toxicity of the sea. Nevertheless, we found numerous groups of people fishing at one of the eastside campgrounds we visited. We visited Salton City, the resort that never was (good overview about this in the book Salt Dreams in the chapter “Have We Got a Deal for You”). I too was amazed at the endless alfalfa as we searched for veggies and fruit in vain, though I knew it was there somewhere. Thanks for your post and the pics.
